Honestly, you’re not even that scared anymore. And it feels great, like you’ve done something impossible. Like you’ve taken a step in the right direction. Like maybe, for the first time in your life, you’re finally living up to the name Katia Managan. Other than a regrettable, drunken one-night stand with a diseased necromancer, this is shaping up to be the best day of your life. You’re having dinner with a real, live Countess and enjoying it.

I mean sure, she’s completely flipping her shit over there and ruining a perfectly good knife, but something about that just makes her all the more human. It also gives you a warm reminder that if she tries to kill you, these plates will work as shields.

Seeing as how everyone is sorta ignoring the Countass‘s outbreak, just lean over to Quill-Weave and ask her discretely, as in without the Countass noticing.

You are pretty curious why she got so mad, though. You swear she almost looked happy when you told her you were robbed. That was really weird and everyone just seems to be ignoring it. You better ask Quill-Weave about this before you mess up again. Of course, there’s no way you can whisper in her ear without the Countess noticing.

Luckily, you know an old trick (supposedly) created by Khajiiti slaves in Morrowind. Let’s see if Quill-Weave knows it too…

That must be the Imperial Legion soldier you were advised not to bring up. Quill-Weave lets go of your tail before you can ask why the Countess hates this guy so much.

Katia: Would the razor accident make an entertaining story? Because although it kind of sucks for you, a dose of schadenfreude might be just what Umbranox needs right now.

You’re not going to talk about the razor accident.

It’s not appropriate table conversation and you don’t even remember most of it.

I’m just pointing out a little typo : “for he first time in your life” line three . 😉

Kazerad

Oh no, thousands of people have seen me misspell “the”. D=

Typo fixed. Thanks!

New reader here, loving it so far! I just dropped by on the comments at last to let you know a little detail on this page:

“Quill-Weave lets go of your tail before you can why ask the Countess hates this guy so much.”

I suppose that “can” was supposed to be after the “why”, not before? Unless I’m reading this wrong, which might be the case as I’m not a native english speaker. Anyway, that’s pretty irrelevant after all.

Kazerad

Fixed, thank you! I’ve recently been learning (via comments) that there is a shocking amount of typos like that in these older pages. Hopefully I’ve gotten them all now.

Shaved Katia reminds me of Mew o.o

creeperbro

Reminds me of Pink Panther >.>

JET73L

…Reminds me of Dobby. *shame*

dtlux14

Mew? I guess I can sort of see how…

Zerp

ALL her fur? SOME accident! wow

refinder

A one night stand with Freaky Fred?

“Katia, your haaaaaaaaiiiiiirrrr…”

Upon thinking a bit more on it, I came up with this:

It was on one summer’s eve
when a drunken khajiit I did see.
She looked it me with fur a plenty
in braids I dare say numbered twenty.
And with slurred speech as she swayed
she did ask if she could stay.
So I figured “what the hey?”

I think Katia should stick with “Giggle at the Ghosties”, if she wants to keep her composure at all.

dtlux14

No. How about she may have done with a unicorn though? 😛

brofist

“as in without the Countass noticing.”
still not sure if this is on purpose or not, but thought I’d point it out

It’s obviously a remnant from the conversation with Capital S =P
“When he’s not on the road he just likes to hang around in the throne room. You know, sit and stare at that capital piece of countass. All day long.”

Where is your avatar from?

It is the same art-style as the music videos for “The Riddle” and “Bla Bla Bla” by Gigi D’Agostino, which I enjoy muchly! 😀

I hope to God people know that these guys are just basing this entire comic off of a game. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to be exact. They didn’t create Tamriel, Cyrodiil, Hammerfell, Anvil (the town they’re in), The Stranger, CountESS Umbranox, The Redguard Blacksmith, Quill-Weave or anything, although they did create Katia and all her back story. But this comic is badass 😀 I just hate seeing people who’ve never experienced the true lore of The Elder Scrolls comment on here…

The Dragonborne

Heh Shaved pussy ;).. have to admit she looks pretty hot without her furr * blushes* first time reader, and avid player of both oblivion and skyrim.. I wonder what would be Katia’s reaction if she were the dragonborn

Tristan

She couldn’t be the dragonborn, Skyrim takes place about 200 years after Oblivion did and I believe the only dragonborns at this period was the Septim line.

Michael

The tail-speaking was somehow a tad adorable. ^^

Also, Quill-Weave pulling up her frills was a funny little thing to throw in there.

Edmond Dantés

A slave trick you say, that’s a neat trick. I really love all the things you add to the TES world regardless of being canon or not.
Also shaved Katia looks like a fun trauma to go back too, eventually.

Lineo

this morse thing was really cool.

Hiccup

Luckily, you know an old trick (supposedly) created by Khajiiti slaves in Morrowind. Let’s see if Quill-Weave knows it too…

>created by Khajiiti slaves
>Khajiiti slaves
>Khajiiti

Khajiiti
I think you mean Khajiit

Kazerad

It’s an adjective form!

Thanks for keeping a typo eye out though.

Great page. The first panel had an interesting art style and the stealth morse code was an unexpected but interesting concept.
